With over 750 million users, Facebook is open to all and allows everyone to connect with practically everyone. You are able to share pictures, statuses, pages, events, as well birthday reminders. Essentially, anyone is able to share as much of their lives as they wish. Not sure on a homework assignment? A common thing to do would be to log onto Facebook and ask a classmate.
Over 50 percent of these social network users log on multiple times a day, many of them dwindling their time. Many become so attached to constantly following updates and various applications that they would prefer to be at computer rather than doing other productive tasks. Facebook is great for chatting with friends, but one thing it has done was the changing affect on how society communicates. People acquaint each other through this network. We are so used to talking online that the distinction between friends and acquaintances is becoming unclear. Also, we choose the easy way in contacting a person by sending them a message or wall post as well as socializing behind the computer screen instead of face to face. These are the few reasons why those people who are against Facebook, believe that reality has differed since online social medias have been created. Instead of getting to know a person through our voices, we use letters typed from a keyboard. Ultimately, there are too many of us that rely on the use of social networking sites than necessary.
Facebook assists you in bountiful ways, but something we must remember is that while you are being connected, you may also be disconnecting yourself from society. Although this site was meant to be created with good intentions, it does have its negative aspects.

Your blog is extremely good. This is very true, it is very rare for teenagers and people in general to pick up the phone and call someone or write a letter and send it. Facebook is good for many reasons, but it is ruining the way people communicate with each other.
Adding to Maleka's comment about the way Facebook is ruining human interaction; people before the internet was made public, interacted more with the people around them. They spent more time together and interacted face to face; they become more social. But now, people can act very different in person than in Facebook; probably due to the fact that they prefer to talk via social networking sites than in person, making it harder for them to express themselves to others face to face.
